Back when I was a climber in the late 80's to 2000's - Robyn and Didier, along with J.B Tribout, Pat Edlinger, Cath Destivel, Geoff Wiegand, HB, Kim Carrigan, Louise Shepherd, were stars. Then Sharma came to light in say 95/96.....those days before internet, when we had to rely on word of mouth, and the "magazines" coming out were the glory days. Man, I miss those days. I lived at Arapilies for 6 months in 1989 - was the best 6 months of my life - met so many great climbers, and my climbing improved so much. Getting milkshakes in Natimuk were the best, and living live a vagabond in the Pines was the best!.
Honestly was in tears by the end of this video. People like Brooke and Ashima are ones I've looked up to since I started climbing years ago. Their dynamic is so awesome and they really have such a great time together. Even seeing cameos of other amazing climbers here like Lynn Hill was incredible. Thank you so much for this documentary, I really enjoyed it!
Brooke is amazing, but also still has deep restraint. I think because of the overshadow of her famous parents (even the first minutes of this video are more about her mom). A day will come for Brooke to fully come on her own and blossom with full confidence the way her good friend Natalia Grossman does. Best of luck to Brooke, I love her intelligent movement on the wall. Always a pleasure just watching her graceful deliberate moves. She's not a risk taker as much as hardworking disciplined professional.
Interesting. Im a great admirer of Brooke. Im nervous how she will deal with life after climbing - the intensity is probably necessary but worrying. I hope her academic work paid off too. her mom is a bit scary!!
That seems to be an old documentary, about the Tokyo Olympics. They just posted it again because she just won the last ISFC event so that would make views.
they want the best for their kids. the kids may have pressure to live up to their parents expectations but both of the kids have a desire to be the best and their parents pushing them will only help them become the best climber they can be.
What's puff? At the beginning when her parents are talking about meeting. Mom says "he was using puff, making his lasprtivas sqeaking and asked if that's how he was strong" not verbatum... but wtf is puff? I initially assumed a jacket but that makes no sense... any help please?
@Peter Zeidelhack thanks for the info, that makes sense. Have only been climbing for a few years and never heard of people using sticky stuff on their hands. Looked it up after you gave me the name. Thanks
Didn't know Brooke was sister of Sean Raboutou! And that their parents are both professional climbers. It just shows that talen't doesn't really matter. If you put enough time into it, you can do ANYTHING!! Inspiring!
And she won the IFSC World Cup in Hachioji, Japan a few days ago.

What a great kid! She so deserved it.
Her and her brother are my favourite climbers :)
Happy for her!

wait i remember watching this video before too lol but it’s a great one
Same here especially the last bit
Serious question: Do their family live in Boulder intentionally?
Of course
Not easy having parents like this
Why’s that? Like forcing their child to do sports or what? Def knew some dads that did that to their kids in highschool for football ..
they want the best for their kids. the kids may have pressure to live up to their parents expectations but both of the kids have a desire to be the best and their parents pushing them will only help them become the best climber they can be.
What's the song that starts at 12:57?

it's pof. Collophonium, used by climbers in Fontainebleau.
La Sportiva is an Italian footwear company, widely known for their climbing shoes.
@Peter Zeidelhack thanks for the info, that makes sense. Have only been climbing for a few years and never heard of people using sticky stuff on their hands. Looked it up after you gave me the name. Thanks
@John Good thanks, but I was asking about the pof, not the shoes lol. I own LaSportivas. Thank you though
Impressive!
WOAHHHHH
lol

Well they have the same last name, which is not pretty common.🤔
Surely this is the worst example of talent not being everything, literally born to climb
